Interior cabinets after sanding, staining, and polyurethane.

Finishing the interior and galley

Posted on June 9, 2019December 12, 2025 by Michael

Next up was finishing the interior and the galley. I sanded the surfaces of the walls and bunks. Followed by the countertop, cabinets and drawers. They were all stained with Minwax Pecan to match the exterior, and given three coats of Minwax polyurethane. Overall I’m happy with the way it came out.

As I did with the exterior of the trailer I sanded the interior and galley in steps. Starting off with 80 grit I progressed my way to 120 grit, then 150 grit and finally sanding with 220 grit. As a result the finish looks fantastic.

Finishing the galley and the interior was a huge step. Next up we will tackle the hatch.
